What Type of Drywall Is Best for Different Rooms?

Choosing the right drywall depends on the room and its specific needs. Standard drywall works for most living spaces, but certain areas require specialized drywall for added protection and durability.

Here's a breakdown of the different types of drywall and their recommended uses:

• Moisture-resistant drywall (green board): Ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms to prevent water damage.
• Mold-resistant drywall: Best for basements and high-humidity areas to reduce the risk of mold growth.
• Soundproof drywall: Used in offices, home theaters, and bedrooms to minimize noise transmission.
• Fire-rated drywall (type X): Recommended for garages, furnace rooms, and multi-family homes for added fire resistance.

Our team can help you choose the right drywall for each space, ensuring durability and long-term performance.

What Causes Drywall Cracks?

Drywall cracks can form for several reasons, including structural settling and temperature changes. Hairline cracks are often due to normal house settling and can be repaired with joint compound and sanding. Larger cracks may indicate deeper structural issues, such as foundation shifts or excessive moisture behind the walls, requiring more extensive repairs.

To permanently fix drywall cracks, the damaged area must be reinforced with proper taping, joint compound, and sanding to prevent future cracking.

Is It OK To Leave a Hole in Drywall?

Leaving a hole in your drywall, no matter how small, isn’t a good idea. Small holes can make your walls look unattractive and may grow bigger over time if not addressed. Larger holes, on the other hand, can lead to even bigger problems, such as drafts, pest entry, or moisture getting into your walls. Fixing the hole sooner rather than later will improve the appearance of your walls and prevent potential issues down the line.
